- Place the asparagus in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Toss until the asparagus is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Arrange the asparagus perpendicular to the grill grates to prevent the spears from falling through.

- Remove from the grill and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the asparagus.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes

You can substitute approximately ½ teaspoon garlic salt for the garlic powder and salt. Adjust to taste to avoid over-seasoning.
